The City’s Ruthless Tycoon: My Husband’s Secret Soft Side
On my wedding day, I suddenly discovered I could hear my husband Lucas’s inner thoughts.
He put on a poker face and sternly warned me, “Now that you’re marrying into my family, you need to behave yourself, understand?”
I stared at him, but heard another voice from deep inside him: ‘Honey, be good, don’t go picking wild flowers!‘

On my wedding day, I suddenly discovered I could hear my husband Lucas’s inner thoughts.
He put on a poker face and sternly warned me, “Now that you’re marrying into my family, you need to behave yourself, understand?”
I stared at him, but heard another voice from deep inside him: ‘Honey, be good, don’t go picking wild flowers!‘
I thought I had misheard, so I glanced at Lucas, but his mouth was tightly shut.
I asked, “What did you just say? Say it again.”
“I never repeat myself!”
Lucas’s lips were pressed into a thin line, but I clearly heard another voice:
‘Oh no, I must have said something too harsh and upset my wife. I’m such an idiot!‘
I finally confirmed that what I heard was indeed Lucas’s inner thoughts.
This discovery shocked me so much that I couldn’t process it even until the end of the wedding.
Lucas and I had been engaged since childhood.
But twenty years had passed, and now he was the sole heir to the Zhou Corporation, while I was just a B–list actress in the entertainment industry. I had assumed this childhood engagement was long invalidated.
However, not long ago, the old Chairman Zhou, Lucas’s grandfather, suddenly fell seriously ill. To bring him good fortune, the Zhou family found me and held today’s wedding.
I thought this was just a fake marriage to appease Old Mr. Zhou. I never expected there would be such an unexpected gain!
In the evening, after all the guests had left, only Lucas and I remained in the new room.
“Since you agreed to this marriage, you should know the price of marrying into the Zhou family. I won’t touch you, but you’re also not allowed to fool around outside.”
Lucas’s face was cold, as if even the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
At the same time, a shadow rose from his body. It was a miniature version of Lucas, pulling his hair with a frustrated look:
‘What nonsense am I saying?! Honey, please pretend you didn’t hear that. Let me say it again. I want to touch you, I really do!‘
Wow! So his inner thoughts had materialized?
I was a bit surprised and tentatively said, “I didn’t hear what you just said. Can you say it again?”
“I said, I never repeat myself!”
Lucas slammed the door and angrily left.
Little Lucas covered his face, and his sobbing voice came back Intermittently: ‘I’m such a useless person. I can’t say anything embarrassing, wah wah wah…
The room fell silent.

I sighed.
Men, even when given a chance, you’re still useless!
That night, I slept alone in the luxurious bedroom of the 5000–square–foot villa, very sweetly.
Early the next morning, I got up early, preparing to visit Old Mr. Zhou with Lucas.
As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Lucas sitting alone at the dining table, looking gloomy. Even Little Lucas beside him was lying dejectedly
on the table, looking like he hadn’t slept well.
“Morning.”
I greeted cheerfully.
The dejected Little Lucas immediately stood up, took small steps to me, clasped his hands, and greeted me shyly:
‘Morning, honey. I made breakfast for you. Come see if you like it!
He hadn’t rested well because he was making breakfast for me?
I was stunned for a moment, feeling a warm current in my heart.
My parents passed away early, and I had lived alone for many years. No one had cared about me for a long time, let alone willingly prepare breakfast for me unconditionally.
! quickly walked to the table and sat down, picking up a steamed bun and putting it in my mouth.
The juice was deliciously fragrant.
“Delicious!”
I spoke affirmatively. Lucas’s face remained cold without response, while Little Lucas circling around him spun happily.
